Parking brake warning while driving

We've installed quite a few 700's and 900's and have done the software speed bypass with no issues.

 

I have one customer that is complaining that the parking brake warning is randomly popping up on the screen. Its a 900BT

 

Is this normal after the software bypass, and no one else has complained about it, or is something potentially wrong?

 

I've searched the forum and couldn't find anything about it.

 

Thanks

Mike

I would check and make sure the brake wire is grounded and make sure u copyed the modified data.zip not the original, i did that the first time, also try 256.0 for the value for the parking brake, that worked for me

i doubt its software that is causing it. the software either works or it doesnt. check wiring and grounding. while the unit is running wiggle wires around and see if you replicate the problem.

I have that with only the hardware bypass.

(and not having it to work)

I added the software bypass, and the error has gone. (and it works now)

If you get the parking brake warning with the hardware bypass, then it's simple, you did not do it correctly.

DrBass,

 

I did the software bypass on my '900BT... I changed it to "128"... when I hit 79.5 mph I get the "Park Brake is Incorrectly Connected" Warning every time.

 

Just change the setting to a higher number eg. 256 (it should be good up to 159 mph?), or tell them not to speed!

I had to change mine to 256. Has the previous post said, you will get this error if you set the software bypass to 128 and you go over 79mph. The speed setting is in kph not mph.

ooops, I missread the first post. I thought you did both software and hardware.
